Emoji + TextBox()?

The Icons which are available in JPM are very limited.

The idea: “Use emojis as icons — there’s one for almost anything!”
just seahorse is missing ...

The problem: how can I use Emojis in JMP - e.g.  in TextBox()? 

With

New Window("Emoji Example",
    Text Box("🔴🟡🟢") 
);

I expect:

... but JPM generates:

not helpful in this context: the creativity of Learnbot

New Window("Emoji Example",
    Text Box(Char(128512)) // Unicode for 😀
);

Re: Emoji + TextBox()?

you are right. -> TS-00275926
I will keep you updated if I get new insights from there ...

I also submitted a wish to the wish list:
Expand the Built‑in Icon Library for Modern GUI Development 
enabling emoji support for windows systems could be an easy shortcut.
Just imagine how easy GUI development would be if emojis could fill the gap whenever suitable icons are missing in the BuiltIn set!

I have to admit I'm a bit jealous of the users who have a Mac license.
Still, you could argue that it doesn’t help them much either, since those GUIs aren’t portable across platforms anyway.
